Yesterday, the Broncos were informed that kicker Matt Prater will be named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for September.Prater's selection as AFC Special Teams Player of the Month is the first such award of his three-year NFL career. It marks the first time in four seasons that a Bronco has won the award and only the fourth time a Denver player has received the nomination since it was initiated by the NFL in 1993.
Prater helped the Broncos to a 3-0 record and a first-place standing in the AFC West in September by converting 7-of-9 field-goal attempts, including all three tries from beyond 40 yards. He posted AFC bests in touchbacks, touchback percentage and kickoffs reaching the end zone to help Denver lead the conference in lowest opponent average starting position after kickoffs for the month.
